Although looking at some of those links, F1 may end up with Bernie Ecclestone and Ferrari out on their own and everyone else off to the new set-up!
And a jolly good thing too!

As Minardi proves, however much you mess around with the rules (and this has been an annual event in recent times), even to try to level the field, the teams with the most money will always make the best of any change.

Any alternative formula, should give serious thought to including "success ballast", as in Touring car, and in they case of Ferrari, they would acquire ballast for winning, and stay level or lose ballast for not winning, same for any other team - and one the current seson, not the previous, as the last season's winner isn't always going to be the top dog, though if Ferrari have a good run this year as well, it could be the final nail in the coffin of F1.

To say, "the other teams must catch up" is all very well, but it doesn't make for great racing.
